All that experience and still wrong…what a pity

The American Indian is far better then that of the Latin American, they simply do not have the support and are at the absolute bottom of the socioeconomic ladder.

Tribes here have some autonomy, can invest in business and own lands is it perfect? no but its far better then anything an indigenous person receives in central and south america.

  • the right to the real and effective ownership of traditional lands and territories and to the resources (both material and spiritual) that they contain;
  • the right of indigenous peoples to have their own understanding of their history;
  • the right to participate in and propose policies and projects for development, health, education and other areas;
  • the right to have effective mechanisms to protest against or oppose legislation, administrative measures, projects, policies and programmes that have a negative impact on the life, economy or environment of their communities;
  • the real and effective recognition of indigenous legal systems and religions, and the contributions that indigenous cultures have made to the progress of humanity, especially in relation to the environment, agriculture, philosophy, mathematics and other fields.
